Nominet shakes up system for expiring .uk domains, just happens to choose one that will make it £millions. Again

So there isn't any conflict of interest between being the auctioneer of expired domain names and running the dispute process?

Given the types of mischief that a previously-active domain can be used for, the non-profit solution would be to lock expired domains until such time as a new customer could make a good case for using an old name AND pass some sort of effective diligence. That would of course exclude 95% of the average registry's customer base.
